<P>I'm having the same issue, it just started last Friday. Same thing as everyone describes, and I just made a whole post about it. I live in a condo, so I think the central box has something to do with it. If it keeps happening I'll switch back to Comcast.</P>Wed, 20 Jul 2011 14:34:56 GMTVerizonUser782011-07-20T14:34:56ZIntermittent connection problemshttps://forums.verizon.com/t5/Fios-Internet/Intermittent-connection-problems/m-p/222129#M14443
<P>I just recently signed up for FIOS internet and having intermittent connection problems. It seems to occur mostly in the mid afternoon and my internet connection will suddenly go out, though FIOS tv is still working.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Resetting the router doesnt seem to work. The only thing that does is unplugging the wall unit and battery (the one connected to the outside box). That will bring back the connection and sometimes it will stay, sometimes I have to do the same thing a few minutes later.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>I had read that I might be having these problems since my neighbor also has FIOS, but unsure how to resolve the issue.</P>Wed, 07 Jul 2010 01:12:32 GMThttps://forums.verizon.com/t5/Fios-Internet/Intermittent-connection-problems/m-p/222129#M14443okamichan132010-07-07T01:12:32ZRe: Intermittent connection problemshttps://forums.verizon.com/t5/Fios-Internet/Intermittent-connection-problems/m-p/222822#M14486

<P>I am also having the same issue. This has been happening for about 3 months now. I thought it was my wireless router, but the fios connector to my main computer is also losing it's connection every few minutes. It loses the connection and comes back. It's very tedious and tiresome.</P>Thu, 02 Sep 2010 03:28:31 GMThttps://forums.verizon.com/t5/Fios-Internet/Intermittent-connection-problems/m-p/235927#M15842slylett2010-09-02T03:28:31ZRe: Intermittent connection problemshttps://forums.verizon.com/t5/Fios-Internet/Intermittent-connection-problems/m-p/236050#M15853

<P>Ron - I'm having this problem too. Account phone number is <FONT color="#0000A0">{edited for privacy}</FONT>. What ends up happening is that my VPN gets terminated because of the intermittent disconnections. I also have my own firewall machine - but it's not the issue.</P>Tue, 05 Jul 2011 21:20:42 GMThttps://forums.verizon.com/t5/Fios-Internet/Intermittent-connection-problems/m-p/323107#M22225sgbenne2011-07-05T21:20:42ZRe: Intermittent connection problemshttps://forums.verizon.com/t5/Fios-Internet/Intermittent-connection-problems/m-p/324695#M22291
<P>&nbsp;I have the same problem - losing internet connection for 10-20 seconds at a time throughout the day.&nbsp; Tried 3 times to resolve the issue through FIOS Tech Support.&nbsp; DNS confirmed as the problem on the 2nd call but no record of any outages existed on the 3rd call.&nbsp; Changed DNS to use Google DNS and OpenDNS with no changes.&nbsp; Their technical support refused to confirm or deny that port 53 traffic was forced to internal DNS servers.&nbsp;</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>&nbsp;My VPN service is active with no issues which leads me to believe they are forcing port 53 traffic to their servers which are notorious for performance problems.&nbsp;</P>Sun, 10 Jul 2011 01:45:47 GMThttps://forums.verizon.com/t5/Fios-Internet/Intermittent-connection-problems/m-p/324695#M22291netscout2011-07-10T01:45:47ZRe: Intermittent connection problemshttps://forums.verizon.com/t5/Fios-Internet/Intermittent-connection-problems/m-p/324705#M22292
<P>Are you sure what you're seeing isn't an issue with the provided FiOS router (if you aren't using your own)? If Verizon were to toy with Port 53 or any related DNS traffic, I would be sure to notice in a very short amount of time. I use a 3rd party DNS provider as well as my web server for DNS.</P>Sun, 10 Jul 2011 03:18:47 GMThttps://forums.verizon.com/t5/Fios-Internet/Intermittent-connection-problems/m-p/324705#M22292Smith66122011-07-10T03:18:47ZRe: Intermittent connection problemshttps://forums.verizon.com/t5/Fios-Internet/Intermittent-connection-problems/m-p/326611#M22374

<P>I am also having the exact same problem. I did the speed test and the ping tests and everything comes back fine, but the connection goes out almost every 2 minutes. I've tried resetting the router, the set top box, everything. I'm starting to lose my mind!

<P>I have had FIOS since it became available. Over all the system has been pretty good, (I have had some problems with the service) but in the last couple of months I have been experiencing the same issues as people are mentioning here. I do not believe this problem is at my house, it is a FIOS issue. I don't have the 2 + hours it takes to deal with "SUPPORT" on the phone. Has anyone gotten a solution from Tech Support, or are we just stuck with terrible intermittant service with FIOS now?</P>Mon, 25 Jul 2011 02:16:27 GMThttps://forums.verizon.com/t5/Fios-Internet/Intermittent-connection-problems/m-p/328871#M22556jobeau12011-07-25T02:16:27ZRe: Intermittent connection problemshttps://forums.verizon.com/t5/Fios-Internet/Intermittent-connection-problems/m-p/333037#M22857
